Jira error: something went wrong while creating project connectionSlack error: something went wrong while getting project connection listCause
You might encounter integration failures due to the following reasons:
If Slack integration is not enabled from https://<instancename>.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/ac/jira-slack-integration/addon-config-page.
Browse Projects permission is not granted to the atlassian-addons-project-access project role.
The user does not have Browse Projects permission for the project.
Isolate the layer
The Slack app isn't installed/authorised in the workspace.
The Jira ↔ Slack connection was revoked.
Channel-level notification rules are off. Check in that order.
Solution
The site administrator needs to enable Slack integration from https://<instancename>.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/ac/jira-slack-integration/addon-config-page.
For any apps to access the project, the atlassian-addons-project-access project role should have the Browse projects permission. Refer to our public documentation, "Manage project permissions," for steps to add users, groups, or roles to a permission scheme and grant project permissions.
Grant the user doing this integration the Browse Projects permission.
Reconnection steps
In Slack, confirm the Jira Cloud app is installed for the workspace.
In Jira, re-authorize the Slack connection (an admin may need to reconnect after a token expiry).
Verify the channel has an active notification rule for the project/filter.
Once this is done, trigger a test notification (for example, create/transition an issue) and confirm it posts to the Slack channel.
